The Guyra Super Spuds completed a fairy tale return to the rugby league field with a premiership win. In the inaugural Group 19 second division competition, the Super Spuds finished the season in second place and booked a home grand final with a major semi win over Uralla. On Saturday, they faced the Warialda Wombats in the trophy battle and held a narrow 16-12 lead at half-time. The Spuds raced away in the second stanza to secure the 36-24 win, despite having two in the sin bin late in the game. “It is good to get a win on our home ground,” Spuds winger DJ Patterson said. “We had the crowd riding us, that was just feeding us all day. “We just had to work all year and we finally got here and we got the win.

We were confident throughout the year, although at times we did make it pretty hard for ourselves.” Corey Torrens bagged three tries in the game and earned the player of the grand final. Ben Vidler claimed his award for the season’s highest pointscorer while Uralla’s Paul Jackson took out the leading tryscorer award. Ashford’s Cameron Toomey earned the Group’s best and fairest award. In the league tag clash, an Abby Smith-try was the difference for Uralla as they claimed the Group 19 second division league tag title. Smith crossed late in the game to seal a 6-2 win for her side against the Walcha Jillaroos. Fullback Lauren Acton was named player of the grand final. Winger Sophie Barraclough claimed her leading tryscorer award on the day.
